It can swell in water and retain a large amount of water without Dissolve. The cooling patch takes away the local heat of the human body through the vaporization of the moisture in the gel layer, and plays a physical cooling and antipyretic effect.

Don't wear too much clothes for your baby to ensure that the heat can be dissipated. When a baby has a fever, the immune cells in his body are fighting with the virus to cause the body temperature to rise. If it works, it will greatly improve the baby's own immunity. Don't worry too much if your baby's body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees.
The usage time of the cooling patch is generally 6-8 hours, but as long as the baby's body temperature drops to a normal level, the cooling patch does not need to be attached.
